You have to feel sorry for Mario Balotelli. He has really had a rough time of it at Anfield.
Brendan Rodgers has never really hid his displeasure at signing the Italian, while the former City striker's form hasn't exactly endeared him to the Kop faithful.
But then again, he isn't really doing himself any favours by showing support for Raheem Sterling after the Englishman scored just three minutes into his first game for Balotelli's former club.

Predictably, some Liverpool fans are less than pleased with Balotelli's decision to support his former teammate — particularly as some are seeing the "best answer" quip as an attack against the fans themselves.

While some fans of other teams were happy to bask in the schadenfreude.

To his credit, Super Mario has tried to calm down the angry mob somewhat.
